What we found
We searched for "Rock of Salvation" together with Orange Farm, Gauteng and South Africa, and also with the contact surname Mofokeng, and we found no listing, page, news item or denomination record for a congregation of this name in Orange Farm. The closest South African match we found is a different congregation, Rock Of Salvation Community Church in Soweto, Gauteng, a Facebook page with about 336 likes describing a vision of bringing the unchurched to the knowledge of God, which is a separate township roughly 30 km from Orange Farm and may or may not be related. All other results were churches of the same common name in the United States (Facebook, church websites such as rosny.org and myrockofsalvation.org). The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.

However, we could not find any listing, page or denomination record for this specific congregation in Orange Farm; the only close match is a separate Rock Of Salvation Community Church i
